In fact, the faux facade of the Hyperion Theatre is a recreation of a piece of the facade of the Los Angeles Theatre, an historic old movie palace. The facade is part of a trompe l'oeil of forced perspective of extra blocks on the street, and a large wall painted with a backdrop of sky and clouds, imitating an old camera trick.
